Save 48% or More at a Florida Resort
The deal: Boca Raton Resort, a 1,000-plus-room complex sprawled on more than 350 acres and centered on an original 1926 Spanish-style building—and a six-time honoree on Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List of the world's top places to stay. With the "Best of Boca Package," $244.18 after taxes gets you your room, 50% off on services at the spa and at the kids' camp for children ages 3 to 12, and freebies such as breakfast and parking and unlimited golf and tennis. The late check-out and daily resort fees are also waived.
The dates: For travel through December 23, 2009. Prices are subject to availability and level of accommodation.
The fine print: We're now in the low season, when double rooms start at $99 a night. On the face of it, $244.18 per night doesn't appear to be a bargain, but when you factor in what you'd pay for the extras that are either half off or free, the savings become substantial. Say you start the day with breakfast for your family of three, send the little one to camp, then one adult plays a round of golf, both adults spend some time on the tennis court, one of you gets a 25-minute massage at the spa, and you all check out late the next day. Normally your fun would put you back $618.23 after taxes. Under the "Best of Boca" package, the same schedule would cost $320.79 after taxes, for a savings of 48%.
Wendy's inside tip: The reduction becomes even more dramatic in the fall, when room rates and greens fees go up, but the "Best of Boca" package price stays the same.
